Ari, over Christmas holidays I dropped my engine to do minor here and there. Then right before I put it back I went to adjust valves and discovered that I have broken head bolt (<<<<--- check yours). Minor drop converted to major fun.
Things that you list all make sense. Do allow for s%^&t to happen. I'll do complete writeup once I put car together, here are few notes.
1. Leave heat exchangers on (you can keep whole exhaust):
2. To do clutch etc all you need is ATV jack and few floor jacks:
you'll have access to pretty much everything except exhaust side, you can do exhaust gaskets etc when you'll put it back in the car.
3. If s%^&t will happen. You'll need engine lift and yoke and more deliberate tools:
4. Depending on level of s%^&t you'll end up taking many pieces apart, I ended up here:
Important notes:
1. Read factory manual 1st
2. See #1
3. You can read internet after you do #1
Measure everything. Compare to factory specs. I have 78K miles on my car, you have 2x more - some things may be worn and need replacement.
